Sir, I want to thank you for your concern about the welfare of the people of the South South by exposing the plans of the Igbos to recolonize the region. But I am worried about the sincerity of these your concerns. Because of these worries, let us dissect and carefully assess your statements of fear and concerns in four (4) segments, so as not to repeat the mistakes
of 1964, 1966 and 1967-1970s till date. In your carefully written letter or chat with the Journalists as reported in the national dallies yesterday, you clearly stated that the Igbos want to;

(1). SEIZE THE ECONOMIC PROSPECTS OF THE MINORITY ETHNIC NATIONALITY OF THE OIL RICH REGION.

Alhaji Ringim, may I remind you that the economic prospects of the South South is currently being seized and controlled by your people of the Northern protectorate of Nigeria. Does that in anyway mean that you agree that your people have colonized my region? Are you also aware that even the oil wells in Abia State, Imo State and Anambra state and recently Enugu State (Igbo land) is being owned by your people in the Northern Protectorate? Are you aware that we in the oil rich region (South South) do not have control over our wealth, and its fortunes are determined by your people? Are you also aware that after sharing the proceeds of oil between your protégés in Shell, Mobil, Agip and Chevron, the left over is given to 44 local government of your state Kano, and only 8 Local government of Bayelsa? How more criminal could that be?

Do you know that even when the Natural Gas from my State Akwa Ibom is used to generate power from my state owned Power Station, that the fraud of a constitution you fostered on my people does not allow me to use same electricity in my state or region, but I am forced to load it into the National grid that sends same power to your home in Kano State?
Have you seen how the United Nigeria is enslaving me? Are you aware that the fraud of your constitution took away the economic prospects of my region by empowering only the Federal government to build roads that your people from the Northern protectorate never built in my state for over 40 years until the coming of our own Son Goodluck Jonathan, when he allowed state governments to tamper with Federal Roads, yet you were busy building all the so called federal roads in your region.

That your fraud of a constitution imposed on us by you and your allies in the southwest took away the power from us to develop on the economic prospects of the region thereby taking away our rights to economic progress for over 50 years. And here you are sir getting worried of what the Igbos will do to my people. Sir, have you been ever worried about what your people have done to my people? How many of my people have you killed in your region? Please tell me the number of my people slaughtered by the Igbos in their land that is enough for me to be weary of them. Remember that these are my neighbors that lived peacefully with us for centuries, shared cultures, intermarried and even celebrated common cultural events before you came with your successful propagandas that deceived our fathers?

(2). COLONISE THE SOUTH SOUTH,
CAPTURE THE REGION, COLONISE THE OIL FIELD FOR BETTERMENT OF THE IGBOS.
Alhaji Sagir Ringim may I remind you that the Igbos are not the colonist as you have insinuated here, but you and your people in the northern protectorate. They have so far not shown the threat to colonize as when compared to your people. It is your people that used the oil from our region to better the livelihood of your people and that of your few allies in the Southwest. It is you that is synonymous with the word
“CAPTURE”. It is your people that kill non-indigenes in your region to take-over their property. Alhaji Sagir Ringim, just in case you think this generation is as vulnerable are our grandfathers and fathers you deceived by your propaganda. You were able to make them see the Igbos as their enemies in the 60s. Please note that this is the 21st century of 2016.
We are aware of these same lies you told our grandfathers and fathers in the early 60s. We are aware that after lying to them that they were different from the Igbos, you still went ahead and killed them in the name of killing the Igbos. We are aware of the devilish, malicious and infernal act you used one of your willing protégés General Gowon to do when you suddenly created the South East State (Today’s Cross River/Akwa Ibom State), Rivers State (Today’s Rivers and Bayelsa state) just to devise the divide-and-rule policy that was advise by the evil British woman just to break the
unity of the region.

We know that is was also based on
Awolowo’s advise that certain parts of Igbo were sliced off, and added into the new states you created so as to weaken any form of unity that could hold. We have also read from a list of newspaper publications from the New York Post of the 60s as compiled by the LOWER NIGER CONGRESS on all the atrocities you committed against the people of the region before your final propaganda to separate them by these
hypocritical lies. And we promise you that even though you used your fraud of a constitution to discourage the study of Nigerian History of the said period in Nigerian Schools, we will do well to expose this events in a carefully Chronicled format for every child/youth of this generation to know the truth. How dare you assume that even in the retard state of your protectorate, that you can conveniently influence the minds of the learned region in this millennium?

(3). BIAFRA IS LANDLOCKED AND WASN’T BLESSED WITH SOLID MATERIALS APART FROM COAL, ADDED THAT THE GEOLOGY
OF THE ENCLAVE CAN’T SUPPORT AN INDEPENDENT COUNTRY.

Alhaji Sagir Ringim, if these are your fears about the existence of Biafra, first of all,are you revealing the fears of your region, the Northern protectorate of the 12 Sharia states or the entire protectorate? You do not have any mineral resources and you are landlocked. Are you telling me you and your people have been so worried of surviving alone hence your insistence of a non-functional ONE NIGERIA PROJECT? Let me explain this to you Sir;

The Igbos you are taking about do not just have a large reservoir of Coal in Enugu that can last for another century knowing that Coal is presently running major economies in Europe, South America and South Africa, the region also has a large reserve of Oil and gas in Abia and Imo state. Oil exploration in Anambra state has also commence and will soon commence in Enugu State. Can you see that your propagandas won’t work as it did in the 60s?
Apart from the fact that your people
maliciously separated the Igbos from their original race to Delta, Rivers and Akwa Ibom states, we at the LOWER NIGER CONGRESS have taken it upon ourselves to expose the malicious schemes of lies you used to separate our region. Your protégé General Buhari made it easier for us on National Television when his hatred for the people overwhelmed his ability to continue in the cover of your propaganda.

He acknowledged the fact that we were all the same people. That notwithstanding, in a matter time, your lies and propaganda will hit the broken bridges of discontinuity.
How dare you generate fears that do not exist for your selfish interest? You must have been thinking how successful your deceitful and hypocritical lies would go in rejuvenating the lies of the 60s.

(4). BECAUSE OF THESE NATURAL
SHORTCOMINGS, IGBOS SURVIVED AS A DIASPORA RACE THAN ANY DOMINANT GROUP IN NIGERIA. THE ECONOMIC PROWESS OF THE IGBOS IS DOMICILED OUTSIDE BIAFRA.

Alhaji Sagir Ringim, this is the most absurd and ridiculous of all your concerns as expressed by your expression of love towards my people in the Niger Delta region. Industrialist do not just sit and lazy about as expected by you. And these were one of the fears and concerned expressed by your late Sultan in a video we managed to see where he was worried about the Igbos in the north. Alhaji, are you aware that your successful brother, Dangote; one of the richest man in Africa, has his economic wealth spread and domiciled outside the Northern region? Or are you in anyway saying that because people
expand, explore greener areas, that
means such an individual has no space in his home? Your points are a bit too ridiculous to have considered as your reasons for granting this interview. Having segmented your major reasons for advising my region to be weary of our Igbo brothers as those that intend to recolonize my people, I stand bold to say that you and your kinsmen are guilty of all your worries. It is also a cause for concern that you and your allies have suddenly decided to worry about the Niger Delta region.

When did you love the region this much?
1. Are you not the same people that
classify us all as Igbos during your killing and butchering spree and largess in the north?
2. How come you are bothered that the people you classify as one when
butchering, are two different people when it comes to owners of wealth?
3. If you could desecrate our land as if we do not exist, come in and take away our oil wells as though it belongs to you?
4. Announce on National Television that the Oil in Bayelsa belongs to you in Kano and Jagawa?
5. Kill us at will if your religion is
disrespected in faraway Norway?
6. Determine for us when and how our
roads are built and how we use power
generated from our resources?
7. Swore over your graves that our our kinsman cannot be President or else you make the country ungovernable of which you did?
Yet you have the guts to tell us to be weary of those that have not in any way attempted to take anything from us by force. I truly hope you realize that this is 2016 and not 1964.

It is best to inform you and all those that have decided to cry more than the bereaved that we are aware that these are the same propaganda you used to separate us, then forced us to continue in this unholy Union. That was a very unfortunate thing to have happened that kept us in this bondage.
Fortunately for us, the UNITED NATION CHARTER ON THE RIGHTS OF THE INDIGENOUS PEOPLE is a tool you cannot do anything about. THE LOWER NIGER CONGRESS has taken advantage of these rights and it is set to call for a referendum.
Quit crying on our behalf, we are presently studying the Constitution of which the Region will be built upon and so far, it can never be an evil as the Forced Marriage called Nigeria.
Thank you for your concerns Alhaji and co.

I stopped reading when this bigot stated that the North has no mineral resources.

What have you done with the derivation paid? The interventionist agencies? Why is Bayelsa still like an open sore despite all the billions allocated monthly?

Of course the northerner is your problem.

What a pained and ignorant IPOB hack.

Keep wailing.

Hmm

Well written... God bless you... The beneficiaries of the forced union will never like this

we want our oil wells back and asap!

the same way your almajiri king pin claimed igbos have no other resources except cold

Who cares what irrelevant Osu's think? What other mineral resources are there? The 1% oil you're contributing which at current prices is practically worthless? The truth is bitter.

We are talking agriculture and solid minerals which is the future, you're talking 1% oil that cannot sustain a single state. You wish you had the fertile land and rich minerals other regions are blessed with.

I pledged to eschew tribalism but some Osu's make it easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle.

Swerve...you will be ignored henceforth.

Demichaels:

Op that person you are calling Almajiri can buy your family with cash. Know your mates

APCsupporter:
Op that person you are calling Almajiri can buy your family with cash. Know your mates

with his share of oil money from my backyard, i guess?

This was what a certain senator from Akwa ibom revealed in the last assembly and all the oil cabal caught cold. Next was to bribe him with a SA to NASS (senate) and begged him to join apc (silent Jihad party). The rest is history....
The hausafulani oil bloc thieves own Buhari.
Federal power is their only weapon...deception is their game...
Bloodshed is their style....
Islam and sharia is the long term plot!!

ovadoze:
as an Igbo man, this does not concern me, I can only support a nation of only igbos and not a union of Igbos with the Niger deltans, schooling in the region opened my eyes to see that even the Niger deltans that we call our so called brothers don't take us as their own. I will even prefer Yoruba people to them at least the Yoruba and even the North did not declare our properties as abandoned during the war but the Niger deltans did. right now they are even ridiculing us even after the massive support we gave their son during the last general elections.

No offense it is only the ijaws. Not the whole Niger delta.
Your opinion though.

As for the writeup. The yoruba- hausaFulani APC won't like this.

God bless the southern Nigeria and forgive the northern nigeria.

**grins** Ringim still thinks everybody lives in the 70s **grins**

Delusion is a serious business

The same lie the Northerners told us back then igbo man is our problems but they are the once siphoning our resources, housa fulanis and there slave Yorubas are cowards and land +oil thiefs

It's is only ijaws the efiks and ibibio are great peeps ..we have them as in laws

.

Nice piece, it is only the naïve that will claim that Igbos want to dominate Niger Delta when practically all the oil wells and lands are owned by the Hausas. I just laugh when some SS peeps make this statement because they truly don't know who their enemy is and a fighting the wrong battle and wrong people.

You have not stated any viable mineral resources in the north

U call someone's tribe osu. mynd44

Dont mind those Hausa/ fulani thieves. Why do u think Buhari made himself minister of petroleum? Its time for south south/ east to emancipate themselves from dis hausa/fulani oligarchy. They created boko haram just to oust gej, when gej was fighting boko haram, they said he hates northerners. Dasuki was in gej's tenure, but he secretly plotted to return power to d north, thats how wicked this people are.My people, Buhari's tenure will not end well , no be curse. coz d cane wey dey carry flog first wife will also be used in flogging second wife. God is watching.

WITH ALL THESE OPPORUNITY, WHY ARE YOUR STATES HIGHLY INDEBTED MORE THAN ANY OTHER REGION AND FINANCIALLY INSOLVENT?

WE DON'T NEED YOU NEED US **** WITH LAGOS BEEN THE COMMERCIAL HUB, WHERE DO YOUR PEOPLE SELL THERE FARM PRODUCE?

Nice write up, but y do u pple always involve the west, I mean can't u make ur points without dragging us into it?

The Northerners telling the Niger-deltans that the Igbos want to colonise them and steal their resources IS LIKE an Armed Robber telling the Victim that the Policeman coming to rescue him is a Thief...

Imagine?

These are the kind of hostile statements that will be directed to us in SS by the west and north when the oil finally dries up or crashes totally..
the igbos tried to tell us this but we were to clouded with propaganda of hate being spread by the west and north!

I've lived in Ijawland and among Calabars and can clearly tell you they are great people. They have their faults and so are others. I don't know why Northerns and Westerners are bashing the South Southerners as if they are better than them. There are a lot of great people from South South. JP Clerk is one of the greatest writer in Africa is from Niger Delta. I am a proud Igbo by the way.

WHAT PAIN ME MOST? YOUR OIL HAS NEVER BEEN A BLESSING TO NIGERIA SO FAR.
